"I will be with you in a moment. Don't wait for me. Rush, how would you like to come to headquarters at the end of your year in the mines?"
"You mean to take a position there?"
"Yes."
The lad reflected for a moment.
"Would you advise me to do that, sir?" questioned Rush, looking Mr. Carrhart squarely in the eye.
"So you are putting it up to me, are you, you young rascal?" laughed the president.
"You know best, sir."
"The question is, would you like to come into the offices?"
"I am afraid I should not be worth much there. I think, sir, that I like the activity of this life better, so long as you have asked me. It is a rough, hard life, but I am happy here and I hope to learn the business so well that in time I shall be fit for a higher position."
